On the Relation between DP and TP. The Structure of Basque InfinitivalsThe most relevant facts concerning Basque infinitivals can be plausibly captured by assurning that they are headed by a determiner and they contain a tensed Infl. The presence of a determiner explains why some kinds of Basque infinitivals require a Case-marking and why they are allowed in some contexts where any other kind of clause is avoided, namely, subject positions. [...] Es pot donar compte de forma plausible dels fets més rellevants que afecten els infinitius del basc si assumim que van encapealats per un determinant i que contenen un Infl amb propietats temporals.

Feature Movement without Pied-Piping in the Overt Syntax
/
Lee, Man-KiChomsky (1995) proposes that all movement is in essence feature movement and that in overt syntax we find whole categories moved only because PF convergence requires pied-piping. However, in this paper it is proposed that the formal features of a lexical argument can also move in the overt syntax in some occasions, instead of only in covert syntax, as long as the feature movement does not cause any problems for PF convergence. [...] Chomsky (1995) proposa que tot trasllat és essencialment trasllat de trets i que en la sintaxi explícita trobem trasllat de categories només perquè la convergència a la forma fonètica requereix trasllat amb arrossegament.

A Case Study on Head Movement Comparative Clauses
/
Donati, CaterinaAccording to Chomsky (1995), movement is simply feature movement for checking and the "generalized pied-piping" which shows up in overt syntax is just due to phonological reasons. In this paper I point out that this approach cannot be right, in that the distinction between X and XP movement does exist minimally in syntax, independently from any phonological consideration. [...] Segons Chomsky (1995), l'operació de trasllat es redueix al trasllat de trets per a la seva comprovació, i el trasllat amb arrossegament generalitzat que es produeix en la sintaxi explícita es deu simplement a raons fonològiques.
